The present invention relates to a method for carbon dioxide capture and concentration by partitioned multistage circulation based on mass transfer-reaction regulation. In the present invention, multiple means such as multistage circulating absorption, intelligent multi-factor regulation, pre-washing and cooling, inter-stage cooling, post-stage washing, slurry cleaning, cooling water waste heat utilization, small-particle-size and high-density spraying, external strengthening field such as a thermal field/ultrasonic field/electric field, and catalysis by composite catalyst are adopted, so that the target for low cost, low energy consumption, stability and high efficiency is realized. The secondary pollutants are effectively inhibited while carbon dioxide is efficiently captured; meanwhile, high-efficiency capture, low-energy desorption, and high-purity concentration of carbon dioxide are implemented. From top to bottom in sequence, the multistage circulation is used to remove aerosols, improves carbon capture efficiency, maintains absorption rate, concentrates solution, which reduces the carbon emission reduction cost.

A process for cleaning process gas removes sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) to produce a tail gas substantially free of these pollutants. The process oxidizes and absorbs SOx and NOx for storage as liquid acids. In some embodiments a PM removal stage and/or a SOx removal stage are provided in a close-coupled higher-pressure environment upstream from a turbocharger turbine. The process has example application in cleaning exhaust gases from industrial processes and large diesel engines such as ship engines.

A nitrogen oxide absorbing unit, a nitrogen oxide absorbing liquid extraction line, a nitrogen oxide absorbing liquid heating/regenerating unit, a released gas line, and a regenerated liquid discharge line are provided. The nitrogen oxide absorbing unit is configured to absorb and remove nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas with nitrogen oxide absorbing liquid by introducing the exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide. Through the nitrogen oxide absorbing liquid extraction line, the circulating nitrogen oxide absorbing liquid is extracted from a nitrogen oxide absorbing liquid circulation line. The nitrogen oxide absorbing liquid heating/regenerating unit is configured to obtain released gas containing at least nitrogen monoxide and carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide absorbing liquid regenerated liquid by subjecting the nitrogen oxide absorbing liquid to heating and regeneration treatment. Through the released gas line, exhaust gas from the nitrogen oxide absorbing unit is introduced to the released gas.

Disclosed are a pollutant capturer and mobilizer and method of mobilizing a polluted gaseous substance from one location towards another location and capturing one or multiple types of polluting substances, such as CO.sub.2, from an atmospheric body of polluted gaseous substance or from exhaust of vehicles, chimneys, or stacks and thereby combat the negative health, environmental, and economic impacts of the of the polluting substances on communities. Wet or dry embodiments of the pollutant capturer and mobilizer utilize wet or dry pollutant capturing components, respectively, to capture one or multiple types of polluting substances from a body of polluted gaseous substance. Flow-establishing devices can be used to set the body of polluted gaseous substance in motion through the pollutant capturing component. The pollutant capturer and mobilizer may also be mounted on any type of vehicle, with or without using flow-establishing devices.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for trapping a reaction by-product created by an etching process, the apparatus being configured to trap a reaction by-product contained in an unreacted gas discharged after a process is performed in an etching process chamber during a semiconductor manufacturing process, trap and stack the reaction by-product in the form of powder at a position between a vacuum pump and a scrubber through multiple flow path switching structures, multiple trapping structures, and multiple stacking structures, and discharge only a gaseous unreacted gas to the scrubber.

A system and method separate a process fluid stream into a liquid-phase carbon dioxide stream and a carbon dioxide-depleted stream containing the remaining light gases. The system and method use a drying heat exchanger to contact the process fluid stream with a dryer contact liquid to remove moisture from a process fluid stream. The gaseous process fluid stream is separated from the wet dryer contact liquid stream and is directed to an extraction heat exchanger where it is contacted with an extraction contact liquid so that carbon dioxide is removed from the process fluid stream with a treated process fluid stream and a carbon dioxide enriched extraction contact liquid stream being formed.

A method for collecting dust from a single crystal growth system includes providing dry air and oxygen into an exit pipe connecting to the single crystal growth system, blowing a first inert gas into the exit pipe to compel the dust oxide toward a dust collecting device, collecting the dust oxide by the dust collecting device; and providing a rotary pump to transport residues of the dust oxide backward. The oxygen reacts with the unstable dust for forming dust oxide. The exit pipe is used to exhaust unstable dust from the single crystal growth system.
